To Engels in Manchester

[London,] 23 November 1853, 28 Dean Street, Soho[edit source]

Dear Engels,

The People's Paper had been overlooked. Enclosed herewith. The five articles that have so far appeared in Jones’ paper have been compressed in the Tribune into three.

Whatever calls there may be on your time, I must ask you to let me have for Friday at least 2 of (your usual) pages — more is unnecessary — written in English so that I waste no time over translation. It seems to me that the campaign is now over for the winter; and in any case the first phase has been concluded, and hence can be disposed of with a few general remarks. So I count on at least 2 pages.

The Willich mess calls for speed — in direct contrast to his six months of shillyshallying.

Your
K. M.
